Is It Possible to use Passcode instead of Face ID for Face ID enabled apps

What you want doesn't exist. Each app which you have set up Face ID to use has an option in settings to use Face ID or don't use Face ID. For example, my Chase Credit App settings will let me use Face ID to enter the App - OR - if I don't want to use Face ID, I would need to enter my user name and password for my Chase account. It does not offer the option to use my iPhone passcode and that has nothing to do with Apple. The App developer determines what is acceptable in terms of accessing their app and what credentials are required.

So, you either use Face ID or whatever the settings for each app offers you as an alternative. In most situations, I would suggest you provide feedback to Apple for feature requests. In this case that would be total waste of time. Apple doesn't own 3rd party apps and cannot in anyway influence how you sign into them. You'd need to contact each App Developer and provide that suggestion. But it's virtually guaranteed they won't implement anything like this. The Passcode you use on your phone is to open your phone and has nothing to do with individual apps, especially 3rd party apps.

Maybe you'd be better off buying an iPhone SE 2020. That is the last iPhone Apple sells with Touch ID in the current world.

You can go into settings > find the app in question that you want to disable Face ID for > turn off Face ID for the app in question it will be a green toggle switch. You can also go into settings > Face ID > other apps to see what apps you are using Face ID with. Follow the resource below for exact steps.

Use Face ID on your iPhone or iPad Pro

OK....I'm not going to argue with you on this. But they would have access to your passcode. And your face is of little value to any 3rd party, so it's much safer than a passcode. What you don't understand is how much importance Apple places on security. Everything inside the Apple ecosystem is a walled garden. Apple does not know your passcode. If you forget your passcode, the only way back into your phone is to completely erase it and that requires you know your Apple ID and Apple ID Password. To contrast, things outside the Apple ecosystem (3rd party apps) are outside the control of Apple. Apple would most assuredly never let 3rd party apps have access to your passcode. Nor should you ever want them to have access to it.

Your assertion that the Apps would be validated by Apple by you entering your passcode also isn't a good option. If I was an App Developer, I would NOT turn over entry control to my app, like a banking app, to Apple to validate. Facial recognition is completely different than a passcode. Just as your finger print is different on Touch ID.

Feel free to do as you want and provide the suggestion to Apple. But you'll never get what you're looking for, so you'd be better off finding a solution which is actually available to you now.

You're welcome. Different Strokes, I guess. Personally, you couldn't give me an iPhone with Touch ID. I love Face ID and would be very upset if Apple ever takes Face ID away. It's simpler to use. Faster to use. And very reliable and secure.

I understand where you're coming from. But it's simply not the same. What if someone looked over your shoulder and saw you enter your passcode to open your banking app? Then they somehow manage to get ahold of your phone. They could transfer all the money you have in the bank to themselves with just your iPhone passcode. But they don't have your face. They cannot open your phone or your banking app with their face. So your face is far more secure. And since Face ID, uses a True Depth camera and millions of computational readings were used to compute the exact dimensions of your face, they can't even use a photograph of you to open your phone or any apps. Trying to relate Face ID to the same level of security to your passcode for apps just isn't the same or nearly secure enough.

perhaps, Mr. Skoo would really like, as I would, to have apple allow both face ID and touch ID.

I hat face ID. it does not work for me either. Loved touch ID.

Again, it's pretty much guaranteed Apple will not, actually more importantly CANNOT grant your wish. Apple, as I mentioned does not control access to 3rd party apps. Apple doesn't own the App, its software or its functionality. You need to take sign in options up with the App Developer. But I do want to ask you a question. Since your iPhone Passcode is used only on your phone to open your phone, is NOT known by Apple, but is only contained on your phone, do you really want 3rd parties to have access to your iPhone Passcode? I certainly DON'T want any 3rd parties to have access to my iPhone Passcode.

I get what you want, but your honestly barking up the wrong tree in terms of asking Apple to do something about this.
